Oh, OK... so...


So, it turns out that it's a BAD idea to spend the night in an abandoned, unheated, filthy building, wearing little dresses and skirts, AND it's ALSO a bad idea to stay there if you find a pile of bloody clothes? WELL, WHO THE FK WOULDA THUNK IT.

A film about people being stalked or slashed or murdered or what have you loses an important element if the setting is so obvious. That's why the classics have had benign settings: a small town on Halloween, a road trip through rural texas, an elegant hotel, a summer trip through Europe, etc. In such settings as those, characters have a reasonable expectation NOT to be murdered.

Setting this movie in an abandoned building that the protagonists broke into removes any notion that they won't be or shouldn't expect to be murdered.

I think the dumbest part is when they find the pile of bloody clothes and 1) argue about if they should leave, and 2) DECIDE TO STAY.

The blonde long-hair kid seems awfully pushy for a girly man.

I'm not done watching this yet, but I really do hope the poor old british gentleman gets to dismember all four of these idiots.

you had me at an abandoned, unheated, filthy building, but okay lets say for arguments sake a group of young people would want to party there, you see a pile of bloody clothes, you pack up your stuff and leave quickly and quietly.
